I journeyed north of the border today to visit my Canadian co-workers in Toronto. Despite an extra stop in customs and the Molson factory I passed on the way to the hotel, you wouldn't even know you were out of the country. In fact, the Toronto office reminds me a lot of The Richards Group. I even met the Canadian version of Michael Hatley. I wonder if he knows he has a foreign twin.
Here are a few memorable moments from the trip:
-A wave of panic fell over me when I looked over the taxi driver's shoulder to see the speedometer registering at 90 -- only to realize moments later that the metric system was playing a joke on me.
-Canadians are very defensive about the misperception that they live in igloos, however the idea that Texans are gun-toting cowboys seems reasonable to them.
-Who knew there were so many BBC stations?

I didn't know I had a Canadian twin. Must be one wild and crazy guy. Had lunch with uncle Dave who gave me your blog address. I'm going to pass it on to my daughter Katy since she's interviewing in NYC. If she gets a job there she'll need a place to live so keep your eyes out.- Michael
Crazy, right? He runs the DDB version of CBN in Toronto. He reminded me so much of you -- just with funny "o's" and lots of "ehs." Hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas!
Hi Leslie. your mom sent us your blog site. Keep the stories coming about your life in the big city. Were you there for New Year's Eve? We thought we saw you on TV in Time's Square. just kidding--but we looked!! Uncle Jim and Aunt Jeannie
Hi Aunt Jeannie -- I'm so surprised that people actually read my blog! I decided to skip out on the Time Square madness and extended my visit to Texas through New Year's. Maybe I'll brave the crowds and the 3,500 lbs of confetti next year. I hope you had a great Christmas! Send my love to Uncle Jim.
